I have a wonderful 7(or so) year old Belgian Malinois that I must find a good home for. I live in Phoenix, and we have Bermuda grass everywhere. Unfortunately, my dog is allergic to it. She itches and suffers, no matter what allergy meds she's on. We've tried steroids and whatnot as well, but the only cure I've found is to live in a place with St Augustine as the primary grass. She clears up and looks years younger within a week or two any time we go to Houston. She's smart and obedient, very friendly, and is good with other dogs. I hate to give her up, but I don't want her to suffer the allergies anymore. I don't want her to be in a cage either. She's way too good for that. Do any of you have any suggestions on the best way to find her a home, or know of anyone who has space for a kick arse pooch?

Thanks OT

You live in a desert, why do you have Bermuda grass? Just quit watering it, and keep your dog.

Problem solved.

And cut off water to the neighbors, parks, and everywhere else she could play. Wonderful idea!

Yeah, she's great. I'm at a loss on how to find a home though. Craigslist doesn't allow animal ads. Are there any other sites that do?

Seriously? Since when?

ETA: Yes they do. They simply do not allow the sale of animals as far as I can tell. There are plenty of ads for free animals for good homes.

Call it a rehoming fee if you want money. Post it in Pets. Also, charge a rehome fee or else some frickhead will come get your dog.

Ah

I tried to sell a bird once. Didn't try there b/c that ad got immediately deleted.

ETA: I didn't want to use a shelter group b/c they have plenty of other dogs that need homes and need care. If I can find her a good home, that's more time for them to help the other animals.

Beautiful dog!

I would be devastated if I had to give up my dog. So sorry you have to do that


I'd see if they have a rescue group dedicated to her breed and contact them.

Sounds like somebody just put in expensive carpeting and discovered their dog loves to pee on expensive new carpeting.

All tile downstairs, and she's not allowed upstairs... and she's housebroken. I'll try Craigslist and then a breed-specific adoption place if necessary. If y'all know anybody around Dallas that would like her, then let me know. Thanks for the help y'all!
